To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMERSON BROWN, of Sterling, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Household Utensil called a Chamberette, of which the following is a specification:

My invention is designed to furnish a convenient odor-tight receptacle for the purpose of carrying the ordinary chamber or other vessels containing ofl'eusive or contagious matter without disturbing their contents and to avoid dangerous exposure, oifensive' appearance, and smell, being especially "aluable in times of contagious disease, and also to be in convenient form to be readily disinfected ,when necessary. Its nature is fully shown in thefollowin g description and accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of one form chamberette with the door open, and Fig. 2 shows a section of the door and adjacent parts on a larger scale.

A is the body, made large enough to receive one or more of the ordinary chamber vessels, and having a handle, H, on top, for conven iently carrying.

One end or side of A is made with a door, B, with suitable hinges or other fastenings, and

fitted to make an odortight joint wi th A when closed, by means of the lips C and D and rubher packing round 0, said door being held. tightly closed by the catches G E F, or similar means. The whole is to be neatly painted or finished to present an inofieusive appearance.

.ltsoperationis obvious. The vessel or clothes containing contagious or ofi'ensive matter being put inside and the door closed and fast- Witnesses J. G. ARNOLD, S. GREENE.

ened, it maybe carried anywhere safely and-
